What Is Stainless Steel and Why Is it Stainless? In 1913, English metallurgist Harry Brearly, working on a project to improve rifle barrels, accidentally discovered that adding chromium to low carbon steel gives it stain resistance. In addition to iron, carbon, and chromium, modern stainless steel may also contain other elements, such as nickel, niobium, molybdenum, and titanium.
In metallurgy, stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French " inoxydable", is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass. Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high- salinity, or poor air-circulation environments.
Arrow Engineering, Inc is a distributor and manufacturer of laboratory electric stirrers and air stirrers as well as stirrer accessories. Our stirrers are guarenteed to be in stock and explosion proof.
I have stainless steel appliances in my kitchen. This includes a stainless steel sink, refrigerator and dishwasher. These appliances were already in the house when we moved in. Stainless steel has been very popular for kitchen appliances the last few years and I love the modern look.
